He and his partners hope to remedy that with their new lounges Touch and Dream.

He says the feel will be “Blue Martini downtown” and that he’ll be targeting a 23-and-up crowd. “A classy place to go and have a good time,” he says.

Dream will take over the upstairs and downstairs space where the overpass is at 55 West crossing into Church Street Market and Touch will be located by the elevator across from upcoming lounge Heat. He wants to fill the void that I’ve heard complained by many in their 30s and up, that there are no clubs or lounges geared toward their age group in downtown Orlando. Music will be Top 40 but for an “older crowd” according to Patel, adding there will be “no hardcore rock or rap” and bar food will be available but is not the focus.

The lounges are scheduled to open by the end of November.

Thankfully no one was injured in the fire that happened this morning. Here’s an excerpt from the story about the fire and a link to the full story and video.

A Zellwood bar was heavily damaged in an early morning blaze, Orange County fire officials said this morning.

This is a new event that recently started a couple of weeks ago. I’m looking forward to checking it out because I do like this club (even though it’s a bit risque). If you can imagine Cheers with semi-nude dancers, it’s pretty close to this joint.

Monday Night Club at Dancers Royale: Eli Tobias of Black Chapel Tattoo (and former Thee Grotto and Eli’s Cribb) is organizing this new Monday night event. MC Kent and DJ Sandy will be spinning and there will be $50 bottles of Three Olives Vodka and Bacardi with half-off any premium bottles. There is no cover to the night which starts up at 10 p.m. Dancers Royale is at 5221 E. Colonial Drive in Orlando; call 407-281-0120.

Here’s what they had on their website about the crawl that will bring you to The Other Bar, Piper’s Sports Bar, Slingapours and Latitudes.

“What Happens in Vegas might stay in Vegas but what happens when you bring all of the crazy fun from Vegas to Otown. For one night only, the City that never sleeps will be moving to Otown.

Showgirls, black jack dealers, the shows, the lights, the movies, bachelor and bachelorette parties. Any and everything Vegas will be taking over Orlando. Some say this crawl is a dice roll but OPC knows you are guaranteed to have a good time, so everyone is a winner.
